After months of orbiting its target, the Rosetta spacecraft is finally ready to fulfill its mission: landing a probe on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

The aim is to drop its lander Philae at a location dubbed `Site J' on the 4-kilometre wide comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The maneuver will take about seven hours. But because the radio signals ...

That comet? 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It finally accomplished that goal in August - when Rosetta rendezvoused with the comet and began orbiting around it. But it's not done yet. Tomorrow ...

It travelled for ten years, including a 'hibernation phase' from June 2011 to January 2014, before finally reaching its target, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, in the summer of 2014. Little was known ...
